PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Piet Kriel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Radoslaw Tomaszewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piet Kriel had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Piet Kriel could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Radoslaw Tomaszewski's chin.
